​This hands-on workshop is designed for builders, tinkerers, and operators who already understand the basics of web tech and automation — and want to go further. We’ll explore how Make.com can help you streamline workflows, connect APIs, and launch real-world AI-powered automations that save time, reduce errors, and unlock new possibilities for your projects or business.
